MySpace has licensing partnerships with all the major music publishers and many independent publishers, providing MySpace Karaoke users with access to thousands of licensed karaoke tracks, according to MySpace.

To kick off the new redesign, MySpace will host a video contest, where users will be asked to record their own versions of hits by a selected artist, who will then choose the winners. Jesse McCartney kicks it off, from Oct. 15 - 27;a Seal karaoke contest will run from Nov. 11 to Nov. 24.
